Patient's question:
Feeling unwell, I felt like I was sick. After checking, I found out which illness it was. Please ask: What should I pay attention to in order to prevent redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be possible balanitis. Generally, it is caused by excessive foreskin, where the inner foreskin secretions cannot be cleaned promptly and thoroughly, allowing pathogens to grow and leading to local inflammation. Symptoms may include: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor.To address this, if it is mild, you can regularly clean it with clean water or potassium permanganate solution. If it is severe, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis before treatment. If it recurs frequently, it is best to undergo circumcision, which can prevent the recurrence of balanitis.
